Any feedback on the Holm-Made Kingfisher?
« on: July 12, 2014, 02:35:00 PM »
Looking at Chad's site, I'm really intrigued by the lines of the Kingfisher he started offering last Fall.  Has anyone picked one up yet?  If so, what are your impressions?

If it's as good as the Hummingbird Kingfisher it will be a good one.
The years accumulate on old friendships like tree rings, during which time a kind of unspoken care and loyalty accrue between men.

Saw and held one at Compton. Didn't shoot it but it felt good in the hand!

Ron, that's just SAD that you made it to Compton this year and I didn't!  Had the family up north camping.  Not missing next year!

Having owned an Osprey and a Goshawk, both awesome bows, can't imagine the Kingfisher not being ace!  Chad has a superior attention to detail and builds some amazing quality bows for what is among some of the best pricing around.

Several of us shot a couple of Kingfishers at the Iowa Traditional Bowhunters shoot over Memorial Day weekend.  Everyone was impressed!  What else could we expect from Chad's bows!!

I bought one of Chad's first Kingfoshers for my wife. It is a very nice shooting bow with plenty of performance. Unfortunately the bow was too heavy for her so it may be up for sale soon but I would highly recommend the bow.

I shot it at the Iowa Traditional Bowhunters with Pickngrin and I loved it.  I will be getting one soon.  Both my son and myself already own the Osprey, and he makes a fine product!!
